Future ENY OP

Return back to sender! Those LFSes don’t belong in Manhattan. Hopefully, MJQ starts sending back the 807x’s to JA soon and very soon.

On board 7561 (UP). Definitely like the updates and service advisories for the B6. Still has the new bus smell.

The 4 they have are 7558, 7560, 7567, 7568. They may get 3 more or those will possibly end up at Ulmer Park. ENY has slowly sending RTS to the chop shop and/or possible storage.

Thank You for the correction @Cait Sith Just only following an earlier post. Didn’t know bus was still at vendor. Referred post:

Don’t forget 7567 to Ulmer Park.

Yes. They will go thru the list. I’m in the 99xx portion of the list. Give it time and trust the process. Take more tests. If you can get into LIRR or Metro North before getting to TA. That will be your best shot until conductor + T/O or even B/O starts calling.

Fresh Pond buses went back today. They are back in Brooklyn. However, Quill transfers are there. I believe 5545, 5552 are en route to Gun Hill.

I wasn't off by much. Appreciate the correction @Orion6025.

Wanted to take this conversation over here instead of bus moves. However, the answer to your question is yes. These buses are already 14-16 years old. The CNG tank lasts on those 12 to 15 years on the 2002-2004 fleet. (Correct me please).

Ah, gotchu @Cait Sith... Just noticed that 2 UP buses at East New York. 7558, 7560. Those moves to ENY are temp or those going Ulmer Park bound in the near future.

Very interesting move.

Cite your sources on the B38 local and Q58 local staying at Fresh Pond????. The last I read on here and some discussions was that the 38 was definitely leaving Fresh Pond for Grand Avenue. Meaning both branches will now become Grand Avenue unless I'm wrong. Grand Avenue already took over the other 1/2 of the B38 which is the Metro branch. Now, I really want to see how Grand Avenue does with the new work of routes effective 1/6/19. I've been very critical about this depot since day one. Thank god they are not taking the B43 from Gleason. Le sigh.

What works in one area doesn’t necessarily have to work in another.

I'm lost on that one. All the other mentioned routes are moving from GA to FP and vice versa.

48 and 57 come back home to Fresh Pond. I wonder how this Q58 move is going to work b/c the current Q58 pulls out of Fresh Pond and stops in front. B60 move to Fresh Pond doesn't make sense. However, the interline with the Q54 at WBP isn't too bad.

Now that's shocker.. M35 split with MJQ and MCH.. (I wonder how that's going to work) I guess for right now the Brooklyn Division rumors have died down a bit. Don't need the 38 and 43 going to GA.

Copy Copy. I believe the abandoned yard is within the proximity of where Grand Avenue Depot is. Winter pick in progress right now for Brooklyn Division? Also, are there swaps to your knowledge between Fresh Pond, Grand Avenue and Gleason associated with the general pick? (Just hope there are no route swaps forementioned with the depots) April pick is for shuttle and general?

No official announcement yet. Let's wait for the right info from @East New York, @The Real and @SevenEleven However, I would say this unofficially: All of Brooklyn Division, Quill, and West Farms so far. Refer to the first page under the fleets section for the shuttle.

7560 to East New York

7558. East New York.

That is most likely what is going to happen. Last checked on the rumor mill that FB's LFSA are West Farms bound.. However, that's going to wait at the earliest November/December 2019 or later since has decided to take FB's 47 XD60's for the shuttle set to begin in April 2019.

XDE60’s in the future for New York City??

Don’t forget the 2 LFSA’s from MCH. Once WF gets the rest of their allotment of XN60’s those 2 LFSAs can go to local service at WF or GH.

That bus has been there within the last week! Up to 7567 is at vendor (I believe).

7555 to Ulmer Park.
